=__Overview__= Marsh Creek is a **rocky bottom ephemeral stream** with urban development erosion problems. The site is located in a medium-density, well established residential neighborhood. Although the neighborhood is well established, recent high-density residential developments have been constructed in locations around this neighborhood. Newly widened roads and supporting community infrastructure have also been created that make more impervious surfaces, and thus, more rapid rainwater runoff. The increase in rapid water runoff has increased both the flooding levels and the force in the fluid dynamics of the water. Mature trees and shrubs crowd the stream banks, blocking direct sunlight. The streambed is six feet wide with no embeddedness. Wind moves throughout the area, promoting evaporation.
